Hello all,
We are pleased to announce Google Summer of Code 2018 <http://g.co/gsoc>,
the 14th consecutive year of the program.
We have announced
<https://opensource.googleblog.com/2017/09/announcing-google-summer-of-code-…>
the main dates (org apps open, etc.) on the program timeline
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>. Additional dates
will be added into the timeline later in 2017.
Students -- Be sure visit the program site February 12th when participating
mentoring organizations are announced. At that point it is in your best
interest to research the organizations that have projects ideas that
intrigue you and reach out to them early, before the student application
process even starts. Communication is one of the most important parts of
the program.
Organizations -- If you would like to apply for the 2018 program please
start thinking about the projects you would like students to work on and
also reach out to your community members to ask if they would like to be
mentors for the program.
We are looking forward to another exciting year of GSoC!
Last week we also announced the Google Code-in 2017 <http://g.co/gci> (GCI)
contest for 13-17 year old students. GCI is open for past GSoC mentoring
organizations to apply to be a part of this exciting contest from October
